Fri, 01 Aug 2014 14:55:34 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=531975#comment-752097It’s good that you can laugh about it. Most fans whose team employed the worst GM in the history of the sport, and also formerly employed perhaps the second worst GM in the history of pro sports (Ed Wade), would have a harder time maintaining a sense of humor.

Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:55:53 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=531975#comment-751971To start with your last point – what are you congratulating me for? The Phillies demise? I don’t work for them, nor am I happy with it.

Not going to debate who is better then who, because that was not even what I was talking about. I’m saying a team that calls a 19-63 season a huge success, and is currently a league pariah for refusing to improve next year is not what I call effort.

Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:30:09 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=531975#comment-751945The Sixers are in better shape losing 26 games in a row then Phillies are. Booben Amaro thinks fans actually like the circus they are trotting out there every game when in fact the attendance says otherwise. At least the Sixers know where they are going with young talent that will only get better…The Phillies are run by maybe the worst current front office in ALL OF SPORTS. They are the laughing stock of the sports world right now, congrats @DelawarePhilliesFan.

Fri, 01 Aug 2014 11:58:08 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=531975#comment-751931The Sixers lost 26 in a row, and the NBA is currently about to revise the draft lottery simply because the Sixers are planning to NOT draft players that will make an impact next year. Seriously. look it up.

The Sixers have said repeatedly that last season was perfectly fine with them. Effort? Does this sound like effort to you:

In short, the team is positioned to have one of the worst 2014-15 records in the league on the heels of a 19-63 season that included a 26-game losing streak. In addition to developing and identifying young players, the 76ers went into this plan believing it would give them a better chance at the highest picks in the 2015 draft, as well.

It is something they have not made a secret, which is why the potential lottery changes have made the team feel like it is being targeted.

“I think the season has been a huge success for us,” 76ers owner Josh Harris said in April.

Fri, 01 Aug 2014 11:53:38 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=531975#comment-751930You are probably right – but talk about an exclamation point on a day that is just mind blowing!

Can you imagine what the blow back is going to be if it surfaces that some team was going to trade a prospect for Lee, if the Phillies at a good chunk of salary?

Fri, 01 Aug 2014 03:51:08 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=531975#comment-751852There’s been a lot of chatter recently that Lee would be a good August waiver trade candidate if he could reestablish health and value. Can’t really blame this one on Amaro. Except for the contract, I guess.

Even looking forward to a losing Sixers season. You know why? Effort. Plain and simple. Show me effort and I’ll pay attention. This team is in line to get a huge tv deal and I have a feeling it’s gonna go into some pockets, due to past success
